Boulder, CO – February 1, 2017 – Lingoport has Globalyzer 5.3. Globalyzer is a keystone of the Lingoport product suite which integrates software internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n) into every sprint and release. With companies launching and adapting their software for global markets faster than ever, there is a burden on delivering a high quality user experience that handles locale requirements gracefully, including language, cultural formatting and adaptability.

Globalyzer finds and fixes i18n issues as part of the continuous development process or can be run on existing source code. This helps software developers scale so that their products can elegantly perform in global markets that require support for translation and localization of formatting.

Highlights of the Globalyzer 5.3 new enhancements include:

i18n support for the Swift programming language, used in development for iOS platforms, including the iPhone and iPad

Enhancements to Perl i18n support

Enhancements to MVN support

“This Globalyzer release was in direct response to customer feedback and is important as we continue to support enterprise development teams. Their activities often includes many programming languages and development processes.” explained Olivier Libouban, Lingoport’s VP of Product Development.

“With the velocity of ongoing product development there is pressure to internationalize, enabling globalization across multiple user interfaces on desktops, browsers and mobile platforms.” added Adam Asnes, Lingoport CEO. “In each release, we seek to support nimble development, while bridging gaps between development, QA and localization.”

The Lingoport Suite makes both i18n and Localization activities visible, with direct navigation and processing for issues that would be otherwise hidden in volumes of code. The suite automates and verifies software globalization activities that are error prone and take time away from primary product development pursuits.

Lingoport has released a new edition of its product suite. The Lingoport Suite integrates software internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n) into everyday software development activities. With companies launching and adapting their software for global markets faster than ever, there is a burden on delivering a high quality user experience that handles locale requirements gracefully, including language, cultural formatting and adaptability.

LRM automates translation updates in line with new software development within each sprint and release. The automation and verification provided by LRM, make the otherwise tedious process of extracting and committing localization updates to source code easy and simple. No more chasing files for momentum-killing iterative updates. Multilingual QA activities are also automatically facilitated. LRM 3.1 features include:

Support for ICU MessageFormat (i.e. pluralization and gender variables)

Further hyperlinks within Dashboard data sections, providing greater ease of use

Faster drill down analysis of remediation issues and completion

More historical analysis functionality

“Most developers do not start their day looking forward to chasing down and managing files that will need localization updates for each sprint. When you multiply that times the amount of development teams and frequent iterations, the problem begs for automation. This eliminates human error, handling time and additional human factors like putting off localization in favor of other development.” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport CEO. “These updates and globalization issues are important. You need to be able to instantly see and manage them as well as automate and compress their timing. This way you avoid treating global customers like second class users by letting new features fall behind.”

Lingoport provides software and professional services that enable globally-focused companies to create and maintain products that work elegantly in every language and locale. The Lingoport Suite includes Globalyzer, Lingoport Resource Manager and Lingoport Dashboard, working together to simplify internationalization and localization of source code in every sprint and release.

Globalyzer finds and fixes i18n issues as part of the continuous development process or can be run on existing source code. LRM tracks and verifies changes to resource files within the source code repository that will need to be translated, and automatically sends those changes out to localization vendors and updates the repository upon translated return.

Globalyzer 5.2 new features and enhancements focus on i18n challenges for JavaScript, with specific i18n rule categories for AngularJS, jQuery, ReactJS and NodeJS libraries.

“A vast majority of our customers’ development efforts use different flavors of JavaScript.” explained Olivier Libouban, Lingoport’s VP of Product Development. “We see JavaScript targeted for the browser and even on the client side. Yet JavaScript code often has a high density of internationalization issues, some of which are specific to various libraries.”

“With the velocity of ongoing product development there is pressure to internationalize, enable globalization testing and keep translations in parity with shortened release cycles.” added Adam Asnes, Lingoport CEO. “Once a new feature or release is out, it becomes hard to go back to find and fix i18n and L10n issues later on, plus you don’t want to treat global customers like second class users letting new features fall behind.”

The Lingoport Suite makes these globalization activities visible with direct navigation to issues that would be otherwise hidden in volumes of code, plus automates and verifies activities that are error prone and take time away from primary product development pursuits. The Lingoport Suite integrates with leading source control management systems and developer environments.

The LRM 3.0 enhancements further the ability to connect and manage software translation as companies rely on localization vendors and technologies to support their rapid release cycles.

April 5, 2016 – Lingoport is pleased to announce its Globalyzer 5.1 release now on Globalyzer.com. Globalyzer enables development teams to find and fix internationalization (i18n) issues in code during development rather than later during testing, localization and backlogs.

Highlights of the release include:

Finer control detecting and filtering locale-sensitive methods for Java

Globalyzer Lite and API enhancements and other improvements

There are many methods in Java that are capable of supporting locale formatting and processing. However if they are not actually passed the locale, they won’t work as expected. For example, a calendar class that is not locale-aware may default to US formatting (month/day/year), which can confuse the user. The new filtering lets teams set conditions that pinpoint these types of issues, while also reducing false positive reporting. A similar feature was implemented for string detection and filtering in version 5.0.

Globalyzer Lite and automated scanning via API continues to be heavily used for continuous internationalization in globally focused development teams. The 5.1 release adds scanning behaviors that were previously only available in the Globalyzer Workbench.

Lingoport has also enhanced i18n support for GitHub pull requests so that the scanning and fixing process measurement can be as close to the daily development work as possible. When an individual pushes contributions to the code, a pull request allows developers to review the changes before merging the modifications to the master branch. The Lingoport Suite can show i18n issues on those changes via the Dashboard. It’s much easier to fix a small amount of issues isolated to an individual developer’s contribution, rather than letting them accumulate for later – which sometimes never comes.

Globalyzer is part of the Lingoport Suite for finding, fixing and continuously supporting internationalization and localization for software development. It’s used by leading technology firms to deliver software that elegantly supports worldwide locale formats and languages. Lingoport Suite includes Globalyzer, Lingoport Dashboard, and Lingoport Resource Manager.

About Lingoport…

Lingoport provides a software suite and professional services that enable globally focused companies to create and maintain software that works elegantly in every language and locale.

The Lingoport Suite includes Globalyzer Server, Workbench, Command Line and Lite, plus Lingoport Dashboard and Resource Manager. Working together, these products continuously monitor, fix and manage both internationalization and localization in each software sprint and release.

Lingoport is pleased to announce its Dashboard 5.0 release is now available. Lingoport Dashboard provides a clear picture of the internationalization and localization status of software. You can monitor and manage software globalization at the point of creation continuously as it integrates with source code repositories and code check-ins.

Highlights of the Lingoport Dashboard 5.0 release include:

Instrumented detection for string concatenations

Bulk actions for filtering, issue assignment, status and more

Faster navigation to globalization issues

Embedding in other SonarQube dashboards

Analysis of developer pull requests in addition to entire files and repositories

With software sales and user engagement often gaining 50% or more of revenues based on sales outside of home markets, there’s a clear need to match software globalization with the pace of agile development and continuous release schedules. Internationalization and localization create a matrix of issues and updates that affect every sprint and feature release. The Lingoport Suite and in particular, Lingoport Dashboard makes i18n management a clearly instrumented process so that corrections can be quickly made during development rather than depending on testing iterations which are always more expensive and time-consuming. Using the Lingoport Suite keeps both internationalization and localization concurrent with release activities, rather than falling into backlog or distracting developers from their release timelines.

“Just like with any coding quality measurement and with accelerated speed of development, we’ve seen that teams need powerful interactive dashboards that automatically keep pace with change. This contrasts with traditional methods of relying on reports and scripts, which live on individual inboxes. Inboxes and reports are where data goes to die rather than meaningfully impacting teams and organizations to improve practices within and across teams.” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO.

Globalyzer is part of the Lingoport Suite for finding, fixing and continuously supporting internationalization and localization for software development. It’s used by leading technology firms to deliver software that elegantly supports worldwide locale formats and languages. Lingoport Suite includes Globalyzer, Lingoport Dashboard and Lingoport Resource Manager.

“Concatenations are a particularly pernicious internationalization issue,” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO. “We’ve found they make up about 7 to 10% of internationalization issues. Their implications are often overlooked, and are time-consuming to fix.”

String concatenations detected by Globalyzer 5.0

It is common for developers to concatenate multiple substrings into a single user-facing message. The messages can then change depending upon how users interact with software. However, when it comes to localization, the word order or logic (i.e. automated pluralization, order of nouns and adjectives) likely won’t make sense in the target language. Developers often are not aware of the implications of these issues. These issues often don’t show up until testing, localization or after release. The delay makes them much more expensive to fix than during development. Even worse, they are sometimes externalized in concatenated format so that work needs to be undone.

Globalyzer 5.0 also marks the first implementation of new filter and detection control technology. This deeper level of code scanning lets developers add further conditions to reduce false positive reporting. Initially, this capability is targeted at Java development, but will be expanded quickly to include other programming languages and more types of filtering control.

Globalyzer Lite has been very popular since its recent release in 2015, particularly for enterprise distribution, Globalyzer 5.0 speeds up Lite’s distribution and continuous scanning as team leads can quickly adapt and export Globalyzer Workbench project files and distribute them to Lite users.

About Lingoport

Lingoport provides software and professional services that enable globally focused companies to create and maintain software that works elegantly in every language and locale.

The Lingoport Suite includes Globalyzer Server, Workbench, Command Line and Lite, plus Lingoport Dashboard and Resource Manager. Working together, these products continuously monitor, fix and manage both internationalization and localization in each software development sprint and release.

Lingoport has released Globalyzer 4.8.5, which adds Globalyzer Lite to the Lingoport Suite. Globalyzer and the Lingoport Suite give developers and managers continuous proactive support for finding internationalization (i18n) and Localization (L10n) issues in source code as it is developed.

With software development practices emphasizing rapid feature releases, it is challenging to support software globalization requirements and activities in every sprint. The Lingoport Suite integrates with development practices so that both i18n and L10n are automated and managed into daily development, rather than waiting on iterative testing or manual localization tasks later in a sprint or release. This speeds up time to global releases, eliminates globalization backlogs and ultimately offers global customers new features faster and with no headaches for the development and localization teams.

New for this release is the lightweight, developer-friendly Globalyzer Lite client. It checks source code for i18n issues before it even hits the development repository. Developers can run it from within Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA or Visual Studio and other IDEs. It can also be scripted to run and report as an automated job during check-in.

The least expensive and fastest time to fix i18n issues is during the daily development workflow, and Globalyzer Lite makes that easy.

I18n quality is important, as global customer user experience is directly dependent upon the software behaving elegantly for every language and locale requirement.

“Globalyzer Lite was developed in partnership with some of our largest enterprise customers which are in turn some of the world’s most recognized technology brands. They wanted a simple deployment method to bring awareness and the ability to find and fix issues right to the developer’s daily workflow rather than getting caught in iterative localization testing and bug fixing,” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO.

Resource Manager 2.0 provides an automated connection with source control systems including Git and SVN, as well as others. The latest sprint’s interface changes (strings) that will need translation are automatically retrieved, verified for quality issues and passed seamlessly to translation management systems or localization vendor portals. When the translations are performed, they are automatically audited and added back to source code for rapid QA staging and release. The process is monitored and visualized in Lingoport Dashboard so that all stakeholders can view progress, deadlines and productivity. Email notifications are automatically generated for each step. Resource Manager 2.0 also provides an integrated connection to Lingotek’s cloud-based translation management system, FTP repositories and rapid extensibility to other translation systems and translation portals.

As software development has moved to agile and continuous delivery models, it has become harder to keep up with the iterative nature of changes that need translation to serve global customers. Identifying changes and handling them is an error-prone process that causes delays and quality issues for global releases. The continuous automation and delivery of Resource Manager reduces the effort of manually handling iterative localization changes over multiple teams and sprints to near zero while also enabling releases to include updated and tested translations as part of any release cycle. No more translation backlogs and delays from tracking down changes in source code, verifying file quality, packaging them, sending them to translation, checking them as they come back and putting them back into the source code.

In discussing using Resource Manager 2.0, Rob Thomas of FamilySearch stated, “We were taking 4 to 5 weeks to get changes out of source control, back from translation and into our site. With Resource Manager, not only do we feel we’re at a higher quality, but we’ve reduced that turnaround to under 5 days.”

“The continuous and iterative pace of change we see in software today creates considerable overhead and distraction for localization updates. Resource Manager lets developers concentrate on building new features, which is their primary mission. Localization teams can get up-to-the-minute visual status on what will need translation and because they have direct control, can take full charge of delivery, quality and update speed,” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO.

Resource Manager can be licensed on its own or as part of the Lingoport Suite. Lingoport Suite bundles Globalyzer for continuous internationalization (i18n) analysis, Dashboard for metrics, status and managing, and Resource Manager to track, automate, manage and verify changes and updates to software that require translation for global markets. The Lingoport Suite enables continuous globalization, where software development is automatically monitored and managed so that it supports languages and locale formats for global customers.

Lingoport is a trusted resource to the world’s leading technology companies, helping software, apps and complex websites perform gracefully in any language or locale. Lingoport Suite integrates with ongoing development to measure and fix source code for internationalization (i18n) defects, and automates the flow of localization to keep up with ongoing user interface changes.

Boulder, Colorado – December 8, 2014 – Lingoport has released Globalyzer 4.6, the flagship component of its Globalyzer Suite for developing and maintaining applications for internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n) requirements. Key drivers for this release are to add more accuracy and assistance for finding and fixing internationalization issues in several popular development languages, with an emphasis on JavaScript, PHP and C#.

In our connected world it’s increasingly critical for technology-focused companies to support worldwide customers’ preferred languages and cultural formats such as dates, calendars, sorting, currency and more. These requirements are made complex by agile development practices that can force i18n and L10n into costly backlogs.

About Globalyzer 4.6, Gary Lefman, Internationalization Architect at Cisco confirmed, “This is a great set of improvements on the filtering side that will help to reduce the time it takes to weed out the false positives. The new string operand filters will be invaluable, and excellent work on the JavaScript rule set, too. I look forward to seeing 4.6 deployed at Cisco.”

“For this release, we focused on raising the bar for i18n static code analysis, particularly where we were seeing lots of difficulty. Some programming languages are more challenging to internationalize than others and we knew our customers needed more help.” explained Adam Asnes, Lingoport’s CEO.

Companies including Paypal, Intuit, Intel and Cisco use the Globalyzer Suite to monitor, manage and fix i18n issues that prevent or impede companies from releasing global-ready software. The Globalyzer Suite also monitors and manages changes to interfaces so that localization/translation can be efficiently updated and integrated into rapid development efforts common with agile methodologies.
